Behind Enemy Lines - Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind lyrics

With the cold war now behind us we no longer live in fear Of a world on the brink of annihilation Where in a flash it could all disappear The forgotten nuclear stockpiles of military might Were never designed for use or destruction But to help us sleep at night What ever happened to our nuclear arms? They were only forgotten they weren't disarmed The threat has not been left behind They're just out of sight and out of mind The absence of a threat is another illusion To keep us all sedate So we won't reject but just accept When someone else controls our fate And from taking issue with the ma**ive armaments And their outrageous cost And the possibility of nuclear war The whole world would have lost What ever happened to our nuclear arms? They were only forgotten they weren't disarmed The threat has not been left behind They're just out of sight and out of mind The ghosts of the past strongly suggest that our responsibility not be waived while the skeletons in our closet prove that we're depraved the insanity of the superpowers placed us in a race with an unavoidable finish that we're still condemned to face the threat of a nuclear holocaust will continue to persist as long as hatred is still alive and the weapons still exist we're no safer now than we ever were we're simply in denial in truth the reality of destruction has been with us all the while we're still faced with the doomsday scenario and it still is our concern will we ever face our responsibility or will humanity never learn What ever happened to our nuclear arms? They were only forgotten they weren't disarmed The threat has not been left behind They're just out of sight and out of mind
